Lyrics:

One evening when the moon was low
My brown eyes whispered, 'I must go'
Not one moment would she wait
She kissed my cheek and left my gate

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

One evening as I walked the street
My brown eyes I chanced to meet
Another man was by her side
Soon I knew she'd be his bride

It was just one year today
They laid my own brown eyes away
Now, up in Heaven for all to see
A brown-eyed angel waits for me

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be
Strangers they have grown to be
